Peacefully situated in the picture-perfect hamlet of Roger Ground, is this spacious Grade II listed Tudor-Period property. Formerly the home of a 16th century priest, Roger Ground House is a quintessential Lakeland cottage, offering the perfect retreat for families or groups of ten seeking an unforgettable adventure in the Lake District National Park. Step inside the charming entrance hall and admire the exposed beam ceilings and slate-flagged floor, as you pull off your mud-splattered boots and place your coats to hang. Adorned with gorgeous Farrow and Ball paints, stylish Laura Ashley furnishings, and a characterful woodburning stove, both sitting rooms provide a warm and restful space to relax and unwind following an action-packed adventure in the encompassing fells. Across the way, a grand dining room with antique furnishings and seating for eight is a wonderful space to entertain your loved ones, as you indulge in a mouth-watering feast lovingly prepared by the chef of the group in the beautiful white country-style kitchen. The kitchen can be found hosting a plethora of appliances, including a deep red range cooker and a handy dishwasher. Further down the hallway, you will find a bright cloakroom with basin and WC, whilst a large family bathroom rests peacefully on the first floor. Also on this floor are a homely king-size bedroom and an airy shower room, along with three additional super-king-size bedrooms, on of which can be found benefitting from an en-suite shower room. A quaint twin bedroom can be found just a few steps up from one of the homely sitting rooms and is complete with an en-suite shower room, ideal for those travelling with limited mobility. Leave the character and warmth of this cottage behind as you explore the encompassing fells with a breath-taking hike. Wander to the centre of Hawkshead where you will find a wonderful Chocolate Factory and The Little Ice Cream Shop, or take a stroll along the banks of Esthwaite Water towards the National Trust owned Hilltop, the former home of Beatrix Potter. See the imposing Claife Heights Viewing station, and trek along the smooth terrains of the West Shore of Windermere to the National Trust Owned Wray Castle. Spend the day in Coniston and enjoy a tour of Brantwood, or a quick trip out onto the water with the National Trust Steam Yacht Gondola. Back on land, be sure to grab a bite to eat at The Bluebird Cafe, or travel to Ambleside and discover an array of bars and restaurants, including the Michelin Star restaurant, The Old Stamp House. Put yourself to the test with a thrilling hike up The Old Man of Coniston or Top O'Selside, and be rewarded with spectacular views, or hop in the car and head for Milnthorpe where you can embark on an animal encounter like never before at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis. With all this and so much more right at your fingertips, it's little wonder that Roger Ground House is the ultimate base for your next adventure in this spectacular part of the country.
